Vegetarian Quick & Easy - Under 15 Minutes ~ Jonathan Vine

Vegetarian Quick & Easy - Under 15 Minutes: (100 Simple Natural Foods Recipes) (Weight Maintenance & Low Fat Lifestyle) by Jonathan Vine
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I was completely surprised about how much I learned from Jonathan Vine's Vegetarian Quick & Easy - Under 15 Minutes book. I appreciated that Vine did not right in a tone of you "Need" to become a vegetarian or else.

I chose to read this book just to view some alternative ways to cook a full healthy meal that would help introduce me to some new vegetables that I have yet to try. And that is exactly what I received from Vine's book, recipes that were not too many ingredients and easy to follow instructions.

You must try the Cheesecake Bites, Caprese Salad, Cheesy Dill Omelet and Avocado Scramble - I was able to create all of these recipes from Vine's book and to my surprise I actually did it correctly and it was delicious. There's a lot more I want to continue to try.

I am by no way a vegetarian, but good quality food and recipes are universal. Vine promotes good eating and you really do not have to have a fat/sugary filled meal to get full and have tasty ingredients.

How the Water Falls ~ K.P. Kollenborn

How the Water Falls by K.P. Kollenborn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

How the Water Falls by K.P. Kolleborn was such a touching novel. It depicts the lives of both white and black people during and slightly after the years of Apartheid. I must say this book did take me a few days to read, but I am glad I made it from cover to end.

The strong actions of Lena a young black woman with a mind to see people treated fairly and the actions of the young white journalist Joanne; their characters truly took me on a roller coaster ride of emotions. I laughed, cried, became angry at the circumstances at the life people had to endure through and live.

This novel does not give you a whole picture of life during Apartheid. This novel provides a small glimpse into that time period. I took away so much from this and discovered that perseverance is the key to righting wrong. Amazing novel!

Realm of the Unknown ~ James B. McPike

Realm of the Unknown by James B. McPike
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Realm of the Unknown by James B. McPike was quite an interesting read. McPike truly delivers a wonderful story that grasped me from the get go. It is a religious, science-fiction, mystery, thriller that will have you enthralled from page one. While this is a fictional novel it has some basis of biblical proportion and archaeological history; in this sense I believe McPike truly made the novel even better.

Based in Israel mostly with trips to Italy and Paris, we follow an investigator for the ministry and his lady sidekick on quite an adventure of epic portion. McPikes writing style is simple and to the point. I especially like the trust that is formed between the two partners, both are strong characters with knowledge that helps them face all kinds of danger, human and other.

I thoroughly enjoyed this piece and cannot wait to read more novels by this author If you love historical novels with a pinch of today's times and adventure this is definitely worth a read.

Hym and Hur ~ Phillip Frey

Hym and Hur by Phillip Frey
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Hym and Hur by Phillip Frey is quite the quirky short novel. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It was fun, light at times with serious undertones (due to dealing with topics of death/illness). But overall what hooked me to this novel and made me want to read it more were the main characters: Hym and Hur. These fictional/paranormal beings were so funny to me. They love playing pranks but they try to do deeds of "good" through their pranks. As you know there is bound to be something that goes wrong and that's what this short novel is essentially about: what can and does go wrong with a "Do Good" prank thought up by Hym and Hur. Great fun novel by Phillip Frey.

Dangerous Times ~ Phillip Frey

Dangerous Times by Phillip Frey
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Where do I even begin? Phillip Frey's Dangerous Time is one book I could not put down. This crime thriller kept me at the edge of my seat the entire time. The characters are so well developed that you feel for them and want the best outcome in all situations. Frey displays a great skill in keeping the reader second guessing on what's to come. Not to give anything away in the storyline,but I absolutely adored the characters: Kirk and Ty for some reason they just completely made the novel come alive to me. If you wish to experience a well-written crime thriller novel I definitely recommend Dangerous Times. This novel is short and starts off in the middle of action. There is no down time in this novel as every page, every word is dedicated to solving the case. Enjoy!
